TURKEY KOFTA KABOBS



Turkey Kofta Kabobs image

My Persian neighbor introduced me to kofta about 20 years ago. His were made of beef and I never actually got his recipe but I'm pretty good at replicating flavors and these came pretty close...and of course using turkey instead of beef makes these a lot lighter.

I tried these kabobs at a friend's barbecue and asked for the recipe. Marinating them overnight really gives the flavor a chance to soak in. They make a tangy light meal served with fruited rice pilaf. -Marilyn Rodriguez of Fairbanks, Alaska

Grilled Turkey Sausage Kabobs image

We love SOPP: sausage, onions, potatoes, and peppers all fried up in one pan. It's delicious. This a a summertime take on this one-dish staple. Instead of pan-frying it, you skewer it and grill. Drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and pepper after grilling if desired.
